Der Giftpilz

Background: Der Giftpilz, the German
word for toadstool, was a publication of Julius
Streicher's publishing house. It was aimed particularly at kids,
and was sometimes used in the schools. In each case, the caption
under the picture is translated to the right. In several cases, there
is a link to a translation of the story that accompanied the picture.
For further information, see my book Julius Streicher: The Man Who
Persuaded a Nation to Hate Jews (New York: Stein & Day,
1983). For more on Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda directed toward
children, see an essay by Mary Mills titled Propaganda
and Children during the Hitler Years.

The Poisonous Mushroom: "Just as it is often hard to
tell a toadstool from an edible mushroom, so too it is often
very hard to recognize the Jew as a swindler and
criminal..."

How to Tell a Jew: "The Jewish nose is bent. It looks
like the number six..."*

How the Jews Came to Us: "Just look at these guys! The
louse-infested beards! The filthy, protruding ears..."*

What is the Talmud?: "In the Talmud it is written:
'Only the Jew is human. Gentile peoples are not called
humans, but animals.' Since we Jews see Gentiles as animals,
we call them only Goy."

Why the Jews Let Themselves be Baptised: "Baptism
didn't make a Gentile out of him..."*

How a German Peasant was Driven from House and Farm:
"Daddy, someday when I have my own farm, no Jew will
enter my house..."*

How Jewish Traders Cheat: "Farming woman, have I got
something special for you today. Look at this material! You
can make a dress from it that will make you look like a
baroness, like a countess, like a queen..."*

The Experience of Hans and Else with a Strange Man:
"Here, kids, I have some candy for you. But you both
have to come with me..."*

How the Jew Treats his Domestic Help: "A man was
waiting for me at the station. He tipped his hat and was very
friendly to me. But I could tell immediately that he was a
Jew..."*

How Two Women were Tricked by Jewish Lawyers: "Well,
Colleague Morgenthau, we did a good piece of business
today."
"Splendid, Colleague Silberstein. We took the lovely
money from the two Goy women and can put it in our own
pockets."*

How Jews Torment Animals: "The animal fell once more
to the ground. Slowly it died. The Jews stood around and
laughed."*

What Christ Said about the Jews: "When you see a
cross, remember the gruesome murder of the Jews on
Golgotha..."*

Money Is The God Of The Jews : "The God of the Jews is
money. To earn money, he commits the greatest crimes. He will
not rest until he can sit on a huge money sack, until he has
become the king of money."*

How Worker Hartmann Became a National-Socialist: The Jew
cries: "We don't care about Germany... The main thing is
that things go well for us..."*

Are There Decent Jews?: "People are always saying that
we Jews cheat other people, that we lie and deceive. Not a
word of it is true. We Jews are the most decent people in the
world."*

Without Solving the Jewish Question No Salvation for
Mankind: "He who fights the Jews battles the
Devil." Julius Streicher.*

request permission to reprint.
